Apatite's ubiquity in crystalline rocks, variable trace element contents (particularly with
regard to the REE, actinides and Sr), and amenability to various dating techniques based on …

ABSTRACT The Chang'e-5 (CE-5) mission, the first return of lunar samples to Earth since
the Apollo and Luna missions more than 44 years ago, landed on one of the youngest mare …

The distribution of water in the Moon's interior carries implications for the origin of the Moon,
the crystallization of the lunar magma ocean and the duration of lunar volcanism. The …

The past two decades of lunar exploration have seen the detection of substantial quantities
of water on the Moon's surface. It has been proposed that a hydrated layer exists at depth in …

Apatite may be a minor constituent in magmatic rocks but it is a powerful research tool
because it is ubiquitous and it incorporates magmatic water, halogens, S, C, and trace …

Geochemical data for H 2 O and other volatiles, as well as major and trace elements, are
reported for 377 samples of lunar volcanic glass from three chemical groups (A15 green …

Many studies exist on magmatic volatiles (H, C, N, F, S, Cl) in and on the Moon, within the
last several years, that have cast into question the post-Apollo view of lunar formation, the …

Magma reservoirs are thought to grow relatively slowly, assembling incrementally under
volatile-saturated conditions. Eruptions may be triggered by injections of volatile-rich melt, or …

Determining the origin of water and the timing of its accretion within the inner solar system is
important for understanding the dynamics of planet formation. The timing of water accretion …

In this study, we use micro-X-ray absorption near-edge structures (μ-XANES) spectroscopy
at the SK-edge to investigate the oxidation state of S in natural magmatic-hydrothermal …
